These cupcakes were a disaster! The filling was too runny and the cupcakes were dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

These cupcakes were a hit at my party! The strawberry balsamic filling was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and the cupcakes themselves were moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again!
